(A)
Purpose.
This rule describes the funding of the
CSEA and the Title IV-D program administered by the Ohio department of job and

operating expenses.

fund.
In accordance with rule
5101:9-6-83
of the Administrative Code, each CSEA has an administrative fund for the
operation of a child support enforcement program. The CSEA deposits all child
support funding into the child support administrative fund in accordance with 2
C.F.R. 200 (12/2014), 45 C.F.R. 75 (12/2014), and 45 C.F.R. 304

IV-D.
ODJFS issues funding for federal Title
IV-D allowable costs at sixty-six per cent federal financial participation
(FFP) rate as described in rule

the Administrative Code. FFP reimbursement is available for reasonable and
necessary CSEA expenditures for Title IV-D services and activities properly

(iv)
The funds are
not used to match other federal funds.
(4)
Program
income.
The CSEA shall use revenues resulting
from Title IV-D case activity for the operation of the child support program.
Details regarding Title IV-D program income are available in rule
5101:12-1-53 of
the Administrative Code.
(a)
The CSEA deducts Title IV-D program income revenue
from expenditures reported for federal reimbursement.
(b)
The CSEA shall
not use Title IV-D program income as any portion of the nonfederal share of
program funding.
(5)
Non-allowable or
non-reimbursable costs are not eligible for federal or state financial
participation. These costs must be met through one hundred per cent local
funds.
(D)
Draws and reporting.
The CSEA may access federal funds and
its state allocation via cash draws through the county finance information
system (CFIS).
(1)
The CSEA shall determine the source of the state or
local match and draw the funding accordingly.

using state funds for the match, the CSEA may draw the federal portion of
sixty-six per cent and the state portion of thirty-four per cent of the total
expenditures.
(i)
State funding available is limited to the state fiscal
year (SFY) allocation for the CSEA.
